Modern marvels meet pre-historic landscapes at this desert idyll.

With dramatic canyons and soaring rock formations, Our Habitas AlUla blends seamlessly into the scenery with 96 earth-toned cabins. Inside, contemporary comforts are imbued with a sense of rustic luxury, courtesy of hand-crafted furnishings and local artworks.

Throughout the day, fitness and wellness programmes provide opportunities to relax, unwind and mindfully connect. Indulge in some time at Thuraya, the in-house spa that unites modern-day techniques and ancestral practices, and take in the scene at the pool – a slice of brilliant blue against the dramatic sandstone cliffs. Further afield, traverse the 8km hike on the Adventure Trail and pick a method of exploration for desert adventures that range from UTVs to the time-honoured camel. Fuel up at Tama, the regionally inspired all-day restaurant that focuses on locally sourced produce.
